Hair Transplant in IB

Hairline is cooked and I'm looking to go to Turkey to get it done. Trying to figure out the best way to do it and not be in the office - have around 2 weeks I can take off but obviously wouldn't be enough time.

Has anyone done the same, or rocked up to the office after having it done?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, hair transplants in IB are a topic that has been discussed, particularly regarding timing and workplace perception. Here are some insights:

  1. Timing and Recovery: After a hair transplant, your head might look "gnarly" for about a week or two, and it could take 3-6 months before it looks normal. If you only have two weeks off, you might still have visible signs of the procedure when you return to the office.

  2. Workplace Perception: Concerns about being judged or seen as vain are common. However, many professionals in IB have shared that as long as you maintain professionalism and confidence, most colleagues won't care much. If your MD or team is down-to-earth and you have a good relationship, they’re unlikely to judge you harshly.

  3. Strategy: If you're worried about reactions, consider:

    • Scheduling the procedure during a quieter period at work.
    • Using remote work or hybrid models (if available) to minimize in-office appearances during the recovery phase.
    • Wearing a hat or opting for a low-profile look if your office culture allows it.

Ultimately, many in IB have successfully managed hair transplants without significant workplace issues. Just plan your timing carefully and communicate with your team if needed.

No; per wikipedia:

"Turkey adopted its official name, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti, upon the declaration of the republic on 29 October 1923. The official name in English was Republic of Turkey. In 2022, Turkey changed its official name in English to Republic of Türkiye via the UN.

At a press briefing on 5 January 2023, a US State Department spokesperson announced that:

the Board on Geographic Names retained both "Turkey" and "Republic of Turkey", the previous spelling, as conventional names, as these are more widely understood by the American public. The department will use the spelling that you saw today [Türkiye] in most of our formal diplomatic and bilateral contexts, including in public communications, but the conventional name can also be used if it is in furtherance of broader public understanding."
